William Blake utilized ingenious language in his creation of the poem London.Foregrounding and deviation are well practised in this poem.In rhyme pattern,the poem takes end rhyme,consonance,alliteration and internal rhyme.In rhythm pattern,the poem mainly uses iambic tetrameter along with the variation of three troches and one single stress at the end of lines which produces a shocking atmosphere.Among syntax features,emphatic pattern and anticipatory structure are used.Among lexical features,the reiteration of specific words makes neat euphonious parallelism while the subtle pun word create a far-reaching artistry.
